Synopsis
In the fortress city of Bar-Khos, on the front line of a long war against the expanding Holy Empire of Mann, an aging assassin of the Roshun order, sworn to avenge any client under the order's protection, reluctantly takes on a young street apprentice, Nico, while pursuing his most consequential vendetta yet. Their pursuit carries them across a landscape scarred by decades of siege warfare between the Free Ports and the zealot armies of Mann, testing the Roshun's ancient code of retribution against the wider war closing in around them.
